Queens of the Stone Age - Regular John (Drum Track)

141 bpm

NOTE: this is not the original drum track.

Regular John is a track from the album Queens Of The Stone Age. Joshua Homme has stated that he thinks this is the band's best song, but he also has stated that his favorite song of his own changes time and time again, so it could have just been a phase, like puberty. This is the album version. The track is four minutes and thirty-five seconds long and opens the album it's on. It starts with a single guitar repeating a single note before the drums enter and another guitar comes it, adding onto the note. (The intro is similar to the intro to "Sick, Sick, Sick".) The verses are made up of Josh singing quietly over the main riff, with each line separated by a quick add-on to the main riff. The choruses has a new riff with fills played underneath, with Josh talking about opening up shit. There's a short break after each chorus in which only the drums play and the guitars let their notes ring out before going back into the main riff. The song breaks down into a short and quiet jam during the bridge, only to come back to the powering main riff.
